Eastern Shores Stormwater Retrofit Phase III
 
Requester: Gary Brown, City Manager Organization: City of North Miami Beach
 
Project Title: Eastern Shores Stormwater Retrofit Phase III Date Submitted 12/30/2003 10:58:00 AM
 
Sponsors: Margolis, Wilson
 
Statewide Interest:
Completion of the project will accomplish a number of goals including protecting pubic health by reducing pollutant waters, and improving stormwater management. The Biscayne Bay SWIM Plan has identified Maule Lake as a target water body. Maule Lake is an estuarine lagoon with degraded water quality that provides head water to the lower reach of the Oleta River. This portion of the Oleta River passes through the wetlands of the Oleta State Recreation Area. Constructing an effective stormwater management system would significantly reduce pollutant loadings to these waters, which are used heavily for public recreation. In addition, during the course of work, lateral connections will be made to the sanitary sewer for connections that are deficient.
